An Audit Report on Performance Measures at the Commission on Jail Standards
August 2011
Report Number 11-048
Overall Conclusion
The Commission on Jail Standards (Commission) reported reliable results for all six key performance measures tested for fiscal year 2010 and all four key performance measures tested for the first two quarters of fiscal year 2011. A performance measure result is considered reliable if it is certified or certified with qualification.
The following key performance measures were certified for fiscal year 2010 and the first two quarters of fiscal year 2011:
- Number of Annual Inspections Conducted.
- Number of On-site Planning and Construction Consultations with Jail Representatives.
- Number of On-site Operation and Management Consultations with Jail Representatives.
- Number of Paper-ready Reports Analyzed.
The following key performance measures were certified with qualification for fiscal year 2010 because the Commission's calculation methodology deviated from the performance measure definition, but that caused less than a 5 percent difference between reported results and actual results:
- Number of Jails Achieving Compliance with Standards.
- Percent of Jails with Management-related Deficiencies.
